Have you thought about trying TSS #9s?
Actually yes, I have 5 a friend loaded that will be test loads for choke combinations.

They should pattern great paired with the right choke.

@ASHQUACK doesn't it already have scope mounts milled into the receiver? The only auto loader I have that doesn't have them is my SP10.Unfortunately I don't believe that it does. I'll look again when I get it in hand. Did I mention that I hate the stupid 10 day waiting period..stupid communist legislature.

I got an extra delay because the SXS shotgun didn't have a SN#.

I have a dedicated 20ga turkey gun and I've killed turkeys with the Apex #9 TSS, and also with straight-up high brass magnum pheasant loads in #4 and #6. The TSS penetrated further into the birds but didn't kill them any quicker. I think the TSS might come into it's own at longer ranges. Have fun with your new gun.Way back when, we bought a bunch of cases of federal high brass 3" #4 from Yard Birds I still have a few (10) boxes of those. I'll probably shoot a few of those for up close birds.

the Elements dont come tapped for a red dot mount on receiver.. this will have to be a mod you make.
Going to have to start searching for a Smith to do that work.

be careful with shot size in TSS tubes... most have restrictions from manufacturer..

I have a Jeb's 20ga choke in .555 and it patterns really well with both TSS and lead. Great chokes.

No idea if anyone makes a saddle mount for the weatherby but that's also an easy option.

This may be an option for you if your tru glo is for a pic rail

All saddle mounts I found were for other guns. I know that something would probably work but....I'm gonna call that company and see if this is an option for me. Thanks!

Cheapo 12guage from Walmart.
It was drilled and tapped,but no rail or scope base would line up.
Only one company I found even sold one,his birthday is in March.
I was on a time crunch to make something work
I ended up drilling holes in a different rail. His rail is only held on with 3 screws instead of four.
Buying scope bases for shotguns ,seems more difficult then it should be.

look at burris speedbead for non invasive mounting for your red dot...:yeah:
I've used a Beretta 391 with a shim area mount, it was very good. This Burris system looks good and for about $60, no drilling required.

I wonder if that system would work on the CZ Drake 410. With 410s being so much smaller of barrels. And the CZ drake not being tapped. I may have to look into it more. Been thinking about a red dot for turkey hunting.

Since it mounts on the rib. If adaptors slide between the barrel and rib you should be OK.look at burris speedbead for non invasive mounting for your red dot...:yeah:

That’s what I was thinking. It should slide in no problem. I think the only concern I have is how narrow the rib is.

If you are looking for a gunsmith in the Castle Rock area, try 3 Peaks Firearms. He's good.
